Projects
- Make UpUniversity project inspired by make up and the processes surrounding it. A series of drawings and prints led to a woven collection that captured the soft tones and lines of blended make up as well as the linear structure of its packaging and display. Most of the colour achieved in the supporting drawings and prints was achieved by using blushers, eye shadows, lipsticks and foundations.
- DoorsFinal major project of my degree, inspired entirely by the pattern and detail found in doors. I produced a varied multi-media collection which included: drawings, fabric woven and coloured using only natural dyestuffs, a series of print designs taken from door furniture, and laser etched shoe designs.
